Horton-Tucker finished with 24 points (10-23 FG, 4-8 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 32 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 111-95 loss to Denver.

EDGE Analysis

The 23-year-old guard led the Jazz in scoring on the night as he saw big minutes in the absence of Collin Sexton (illness), Jordan Clarkson (back) and Kris Dunn (foot). Horton-Tucker has scored 12 or more points in each of his last three games, draining multiple three-pointers in each, and he figured to hang onto a significant role in the backcourt over the final few games of the regular season.

Horton-Tucker closed with 17 points (5-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-7 FT), three rebounds, one assist and two steals in 26 minutes during Friday's 131-102 loss to the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

The Jazz's starting five were almost completely ineffective in the blowout loss, and the huge deficit allowed Utah's bench to empty. Horton-Tucker didn't enter the game until the very end of the first quarter but put in a full 12 minutes in the second and fourth quarters during the blowout. The 23-year-old was expected to have a bigger impact in his second year with the Jazz, but injuries have plagued his 2023-24 campaign, and his lengthy absences allowed other players to leapfrog him on the depth chart. After exercising his $11M option to remain with the team this year, his future with Utah is a bit cloudy, as the Jazz need to pay other valuable players on the roster.

Horton-Tucker contributed seven points (2-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), one rebound, three assists and two steals over 19 minutes during Monday's 114-104 loss to the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

Horton-Tucker is now averaging 6.2 points, 1.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 17.2 minutes across his last six contests -- with Monday's outing representing an acute continuation of that production. On the season, Horton-Tucker's 0.891 points per possession rank in the 25th percentile among all players, although he is posting a career-high 2.9 percent steal-plus-block rate, so the effort is present.

Horton-Tucker racked up seven points (1-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one block across 20 minutes during Saturday's 126-120 loss to Miami.

EDGE Analysis

Horton-Tucker moved back into the rotation Saturday, playing at least 20 minutes for the first time since late December. Although he has the ability to contribute across multiple categories, his role is far to insecure to warrant attention outside of very deep leagues.

Horton-Tucker posted eight points (2-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal in eight minutes during Tuesday's 153-124 loss to New Orleans.

EDGE Analysis

The Jazz struggled to keep up with New Orleans on Tuesday, so Horton-Tucker saw some minutes for the first time since Jan. 5. He wasn't very efficient from the floor and is unlikely to see the court in closer matchups moving forward.

Horton-Tucker amassed 11 points (4-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-6 FT), one rebound and two steals across 12 minutes during Friday's 126-97 loss to the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

Horton-Tucker got his first game action in the fourth quarter with the Jazz down by 30 points. It was his first appearance since Dec. 28 as he's fallen out of the rotation in favor of Keyonte George, Kris Dunn and Simone Fontecchio. Horton-Tucker has seen the court for just 18 minutes over his last two appearances.

Horton-Tucker has logged two consecutive DNP-CDs while making just one appearance across Utah's last six contests.

EDGE Analysis

Before this stretch of near-complete removal from the rotation, Horton-Tucker had logged back-to-back starts with 30 minutes. Keyonte George, Kris Dunn and Simone Fontecchio have been on the rise of late, but Horton-Tucker leads all Utah players with a plus-9.1 net rating per 100 possessions this season -- excluding garbage time. Although that metric can be dictated by who Horton-Tucker shares the floor with, it's unclear why he's been entirely scrapped from Utah's lineups at this time.

Horton-Tucker (foot) recorded two points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) in six minutes off the bench in Thursday's 112-105 loss to the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

After missing two straight games with left foot soreness, Horton-Tucker was cleared to play Tuesday, but he didn't see any run in the Jazz's 130-118 win over the Spurs. Horton-Tucker checked back into the rotation three days later, albeit in a small role while both Kris Dunn (19 minutes) and Keyonte George (22 minutes) saw most of the run at point guard. While he could eventually carve out a larger role, Horton-Tucker's playing time will likely be suppressed in the short term while Utah is at full strength in the backcourt.

Horton-Tucker (foot) will be available for Tuesday's game against the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

Horton-Tucker missed the past two games for Utah and was carrying a questionable tag before this update. Although he will be available Tuesday, it will be interesting to see what type of role he will play, as the Jazz are also getting Keyonte George (foot) back in the mix. Horton-Tucker has fared well in December, posting averages of 16.3 points, 4.6 assists, 2.1 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 1.8 three-pointers.

Horton-Tucker (foot) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Spurs, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Horton-Tucker has missed back-to-back games due to a foot injury. He was also listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's win over Toronto before being ruled out, so the designation doesn't offer much optimism. Keyonte George (foot) is also questionable, so it's unclear what Utah's backcourt rotation will look like.
